Furthermore, the study found, “The data shows that the situation will worsen as we head into Super Tuesday on March 5, when conservatives in many states across the country appear poised to head to the polls and hand Trump a landslide victory.” It suggests that.”
A quick look at the poll results shows Trump leading Haley with majorities in states including Alabama, California, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
The South Carolina portion of the survey was conducted from January 23, 2024 to February 4, 2024 among 414 registered South Carolina voters likely to participate in the Republican primary. There is a margin of error of +/- 5%.
After her loss in New Hampshire, Haley announced that she intended to remain in the Republican primary until Super Tuesday.
“There are dozens of states left, but next up is my favorite state, South Carolina,” Haley told the crowd after her loss in the Granite State. In perhaps a more meaningful move, Haley’s campaign released a memo hours before the New Hampshire results, charting her path beyond the state, as if anticipating a tough outcome. Additionally, Haley’s campaign said in a memo that Haley is relying heavily on non-conservative voters in primary states to help her win delegates. As Breitbart News reported:
The memo lays out a clear path for Haley to victory, including a strong showing in South Carolina, where she is not a registered party. The campaign will then move to Michigan, where the primary election is being held, the memo said.
The memo added that 11 of the 16 Super Tuesday states are holding open or “semi-open” primaries. In other words, the campaign believes there is “significant fertile ground” to attract non-conservative voters on Super Tuesday.
“After Super Tuesday, we will have a very good idea of where this race stands,” the memo continued.
But if the poll results are any indication, things aren’t looking good for Haley.
